Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall

5.0

holy shit, this book is so powerful. i didn’t expect to relate to the main character as much as i did but i saw myself in Norah in SO MANY WAYS. i personally don’t have OCD but i could relate to many of her habits eg. how she’s very specific about doing things in even numbers or that doesn’t like black bits in her food.

i’m also so grateful for the depiction of anxiety and panic attacks i honestly want to cry because they were so ACCURATE and i just wanna throw this book in everyone’s face (especially the people that know me irl) so they can understand what my everyday life is like.

god, this was perfect and i’m already tearing up again. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK IF YOU WANT AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF MENTAL ILLNESSES.

tw: OCD, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, self-harm

4.5/5 stars and a spot on my favourites shelf!
